NOTW Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 1st episode of Boba Fett was decent. I was less interested in the lengthy amount of screen time dedicated to him being a slave to sand people and digging for rocks then I was how he got to the place he is now. Obviously they will get there, but the stuff with the sand people could have been shortened to still make the same point. As for production quality, it's following the Mandalorian model and getting the look and feel of Star Wars right. Directed by Robert Rodriquez, written by Favreau, produced by Favreau and Filoni. That's a great trio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Tusken Raider is a beautiful language, like French, the way it almost rolls off the tongue. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 Bill Burr's former stormtrooper character had a better story arc & character development in one episode of The Mandalorian than Finn in 3 movies of the sequel trilogy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 Filoni & Favreau just really nail the look & feel of SW while bringing in new characters, sets, planets, creatures and making it all fit seamless in the SW universe. These shows put nice attention to detail in the set design, costumes and locations. And i like what they've done with the original score music. Also the use of concept art during the credits, the art has always been of interest to fans. These guys just get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTW Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 The Legacy of Boba Fett special on the history is pretty good too. Started out Lucas wanted about 100 of the costumes to be super stormtroopers. Budget made it too expensive so they changed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Moss Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Not sure where the story with Boba Fett is going, but I like the show so far. They use a lot of flashbacks and flashbacks during flashbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iladelphxx Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 What's really starting to piss me off about all of these cartoons, books, comics and video games that are now considered "Canon" is that they keep making weird changes to main characters. So we go from The Emperor.... to Darth Sideous/Emperor Palpatine to now knowing that his name is Sheev Palpatine? Sheev????? Really? And, I just discovered today that Jabba The Hutt has a full name.... It's Jabba Desilijic Tiure.... WTF? What's next? Are we going to find out that Yoda's real first name is Gary?

Dave Moss Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I liked episode 3. The street gang was corny, but kind of fun. Boba Fett has more guards now, which he needs since he is constantly getting his ass kicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like an actual biker gang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepard Wong Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I was kind of meh on this episode. I like the idea of a Star Wars underground crime series and I'm enjoying this one but so far it's just OK. Hopefully, once they finish with the set up it will start to pay off more. I'm assuming the biker gang was Mod influenced, like from Quadrophenia. I wonder if the largely negative reaction to it is the same in Britain as it is in the US.

BirdsFanBill Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I don't mind the cyborg biker gang that much. I did mind the chase scene where it looked like they were all going 5 mph, that was definitely weird. Was like watching old people on scooters in a dramatic chase. Anyway, I liked the episode, definitely building the backstory and arc of Boba Fett with Tusken Raider situation which is good. Giving him some personality and depth. Episode 2 still the best for me though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wholesale_Melvin Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 just rewatched the third episode after falling asleep the first time. sure it's been said before in the thread but they have out and out destroyed the myth of Fett. we've gone from speeder bikes to moped chases.

NOTW Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Better episode. This version of Boba is more interesting as a character, even if the show is just ok, entertaining enough. And the tease at the end... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iladelphxx Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I'm withholding judgment until it's over.... It's definitely slow. Hopefully the payoff is worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the Seal barking? 😂 Omg I can’t stand it! I was happy to see that they introduced us to ChewBLACKa though. Very woke season so far.
